    Dave Nixon | Explorations in the Peak Cavern System

    Dave 'Moose' Nixon has been at the centre of many significant finds in the Peak Cavern system the mid 1980's, with his explorations including the White River Series, the major extensions to James Hall Over Engine Mine, and Titan. In this interview Moose describes how he heard what he thought was a waterfall at the end of The Trenches whilst on a solo trip between Peak Cavern and Speedwell in 1991. Further investigation resulted in the discovery of the extensive White River Series. He goes on to describe how four years of intensive effort in JH allowed him and his colleagues access to the passages beyond Far Sump, which eventually led to breaking through to the base of Titan.

    Dave Nixon | Getting Started

    Dave 'Moose' Nixon has been at the centre of many significant finds in the Peak Cavern system since the mid 1980's, with his explorations including the White River Series, the extensions to James Hall Over Engine Mine, and Titan. In this interview Moose describes how he wasn't tempted by the gritstone crags surrounding his home town of Hathersage, but with some school friends, was drawn to the limestone caves which they explored with the minimum of equipment. He also pays homage to three iconic figures of Derbyshire caving who were his greatest influences - Ian 'Buster' Wright, Keith 'Ben' Bentham, and John Beck.
